WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former FEMA chief Michael Brown is no longer on the agency's payroll, the Homeland Security Department said Wednesday, ending nearly two months of compensation after he resigned under fire.

Brown stepped down as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 12 in the wake of the government's sluggish reaction to Hurricane Katrina and questions about his own disaster response experience.

He remained on the FEMA payroll until November 2, said Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke.

Initially, Brown was permitted to continue collecting his $148,000 annual salary for 30 days after he resigned.
